CD Loading opens the floodgates for New Consoles to replace aging hardware. Some people have huge physical collections and just want to play those games off disc.
@jruasap Stop buying things. EVERY company on the planet has questionable dealings. Go move off grid and live off the land if you don't want to support ceritan people. Oh and don't buy gas.... You buy Gas? You buy gas...The Royal family thanks you for your support.
@slider1983 It's really not though. I still had a non standard CPU, only a few games used that Windows SDK. It's just a really good Arcade to home console.
Can you imagine what kind of hardware and games we'd be getting if Nintendo spent the same amount on game and hardware development as they did on Legal fees?
@slider1983 I think the XBOX is really when Modern gaming started. The Dreamcast still has a few tenants of Retro, amazing fighting games, racing games, Jet Set Radio it's a tad overrated but still an amazing console.
@Razieluigi I had an akura for 5 minutes and returned it. It crops off some of the Dreamcast image, something cheap HDMI dongles don't do and something their Scart cable doesn't do.
The Behar Bros scart cable is called the Mamba if you're interested. But that depends on the Rabbit hole you're willing to go down.

Re: SNK "Very Aware" We All Want A New Capcom Vs. SNK Game, But "The Hurdle Is Quite High"
SNK makes games at a rapid pace compared to the other companies. High Quality at a lower budget.
I think we're more likely to another SNK VS Capcom than we are to see a Capcom VS SNK.

Re: SuperSega Team Doesn't Think Sega Will Have Any Issue With Its Branding
We all knew it was a scam when they said it would support Dreamcast discs.
HOW? You're not making a laser that can read them.
Re: Don't Hold Your Breath For A Tekken Collection
@MikeP I LOVE Ridge Racer and My PS2 isn't going to read discs forever. Gonna need an official way to play these games.
Re: Don't Hold Your Breath For A Tekken Collection

Why do we have so many manchildren in charge of these projects?
Re: The "Sega Saturn Slim" Is Now Our Most-Wanted Hardware Of 2024
Is it an unpopular opinion that the Saturn was the better console between it and the Dreamcast?
Because I prefer it to the Dreamcast. Not that I don't love the Dreamcast. I just love the Saturn more for it's mid 90s Arcade goodness.
Re: Genesis / Mega Drive Getting A New Run-And-Gun Called 'The Cursed Legacy'
The Megasis is getting more exclusives in 2024/2025 than the PS5 is.
Re: Game Researcher Says Street Fighter II Was "USA Vs. Japan" And Japanese People Aren't Happy
Yeah that researcher knows nothing about Street Fighter.

@sdelfin It's based off an ASCII Controller. they were very uncomfortable and broke easily.
Re: Retro Fighters Is Resurrecting Dreamcast's Best Fighting Game Controller
@845H Horribly because of the input lag
Re: R-Type Shown Running On The Atari 7800
@jtotal Right?
R Type doesn't have amazing music but Mega Man X music is not a fit at all
Re: Guide: 25 Years Later, Getting Your Dreamcast Online Has Never Been Easier
@Damo literal game changer if true
Re: Retro Fighters Is Resurrecting Dreamcast's Best Fighting Game Controller
Who is this for?
It'll probably have input lag and most enthusiasts have either a Saturn adapter or a wingman SD
Re: Guide: 25 Years Later, Getting Your Dreamcast Online Has Never Been Easier
I need to do this someday. If Japanese CVS2/MVC2 gets supported HUGE game changer there....

Re: The "Best" Dreamcast Component Cables Are Almost Here
@Razieluigi Apparently me saying it was vapor ware willed it's preorder back into existence. Apparently they're open now.
And you're not exactly Emulating on the pocket You kind of are but at a hardware level. I've never been good at explaining how FPGAs do these things.
Re: The "Best" Dreamcast Component Cables Are Almost Here
@Razieluigi It's worth the effort. Retrotink has a Scart to Component transcoder if you wanted to go that route.
I'm looking iinto a MISTer myself. Seems like Taki Udon has vaporware so I might as well start saving soon for the real thing
